Dear CalUWild Friends —

A few things have come across my screen since the last Update, but there’s nothing that can’t wait, since it’s the holidays and a long weekend, too. So we’ll send out the January Update with a list of action items next week, when people will have more time to focus on them.

Instead, I’ll just take the opportunity to thank all of you for your interest in the West’s wild places and public lands. It is the participation of citizens who know and love these lands that makes all the difference in efforts to protect them. CalUWild couldn’t be the organization it is without you to back it up. Your involvement is critical.

Of course, financial support is important as well, so special thanks go to everyone who has contributed so generously over the years. We’ve never had mandatory dues and won’t be changing that, but if you haven’t responded yet to our annual appeal, please consider making a year-end gift. No matter what the size, it will be appreciated and put to good use in advancing our joint efforts.

Regular dues, payable to CalUWild, may support our lobbying efforts and are therefore not tax-deductible. If you wish to make a tax-deductible contribution, your check must be made payable to Resource Renewal Institute.

Either way, mail it to:

CalUWild
P.O. Box 210474
San Francisco, CA 94121-0474

Thank you!

Best wishes for a Happy New Year and for 2010 as well,
Mike
